Chapter 16: Reception of the Envoys
The man turned around when he heard the voice, "Say hello to the county lord of Qingwan!" ”
Lin Qingwan stepped forward and saluted, "Commander Zhao hasn't seen you for a long time!" Sister Ling Xiao and I are like sisters, and in the private house, if Commander Zhao doesn't dislike it, he will call me Qingwan. I'm also good with my sister, call you second brother. ”
"Where is the county lord, how dare the minister dislike it, it's too late to be honored! I rowed my sisters to the pavilion. ”
Lin Qingwan didn't expect to see Zhao Lingxiao today, and she actually met her second brother.
The last time I saw him, he was dressed in silver armor and strutted with his head held high, quite a general. Now that I see it, the brocade robe and ribbon tie hair, humble and polite, but a little elegant!
They boarded the pavilion, and Zhao Chen left with interest!
Zhao Lingxiao sat down and poured wine, and teased Lin Qingwan, "If you don't have a marriage contract with the prince, my second brother is indeed a good match." ”
Lin Qingwan laughed and sat down and asked, "Sister, have you ever thought about it?" Your best friend and sister will become your second sister-in-law one day, and you have to salute her when you meet in front of people. Aren't you awkward about this feeling? ”
Zhao Lingxiao really hadn't thought about this question, she thought about it seriously, "I still think that nothing is more important than my brother's happiness!" ”
Lin Qingwan nodded, "It's worthy of being a brother and sister." But after all, I have a marriage contract, and our sister-in-law relationship can't be done in this life! ”
"Don't worry, then let's go to the next life! Try this plum wine, you used to drink this favorite! ”
Lin Qingwan picked up her wine glass, she really liked to drink plum wine before coming here, but she didn't expect Lin Qingwan in this world to be slightly the same as what her hero saw.
Lin Qingwan tasted a cup, "Well, it's delicious!" ”
"When I go later, I'll get you two jars. By the way, how did you have time to come over today? Zhao Lingxiao picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Lin Qingwan.
Lin Qingwan took the pastry and asked Xiao Tan to take out the nightdress she made two days ago, "Sister, the weather is getting hotter, and my sister suddenly wanted to make you a moon-white light gauze skirt to wear at night." ”
Zhao Lingxiao took it from Xiao Tan's hand, picked up the clothes and looked at them repeatedly, "This style is so chic!" Thank you sister! ”
Lin Qingwan put down the pastry and patted the residue on his hands, "Sister, don't forget to wear it!" There is only one thing to find Dayu! ”
"Okay, I'll wear it tonight!"
Zhao Lingxiao handed the clothes to the maid behind her and put them away.
"Oh, yes! Have you prepared a birthday gift for the queen's mother? ”
"Ready! I sneaked out of the house the day before yesterday to buy materials on the street, and I was discovered by the prince, and I was reprimanded after being caught! Lin Qingwan remembered what happened the day before yesterday and said aggrievedly.
"It's also right to reprimand you, before the assassination has passed, you swagger out on the street regardless of your personal safety, and I'll be angry if I do. Prince Ning has now taken over the patrol of Kyoto, and it is not easy to hide something from him. I advise my sister to be honest! ”
Lin Qingwan sighed, "I'm not honest now, I'd better pass his approval when I come over today!" ”
"Did the people behind the scenes find out? I heard that the prince is investigating this matter in private, how is the progress? "Zhao Lingxiao has always been curious, who has such a great ability to raise such a large number of masters in Kyoto.
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, she always thought that this matter was over, since the goal was achieved, who would care about the life or death of a chess piece, but she didn't expect Xiao Muning to have a conscience, and she actually took it to heart, "The prince didn't tell me!" I'd love to know who it is? ”
"Then you have to be more careful at tomorrow night's feast! The two of us are together, so we can take care of each other! Zhao Lingxiao instructed uneasily.
Lin Qingwan suddenly felt so warm in her heart, although the environment she was in was a bit bad, but the people around her treated her well, "Thank you, sister." ”
At the gate of the city at noon, Xiao Muning and Duan Jin rode on horses, waiting for the team of the Northern Han envoy to enter the city, and saw the banner of the Northern Han Kingdom from far and near.
Ruoying craned her neck, "Lord Wang, they're here!" ”
Xiao Muning stepped forward immediately and stood opposite Xu Luochen, the commander of the Northern Han Army.
"Lord Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time! Oh no, it should be called Prince Ning now. Xu Luochen was dressed in purple neatly and looked at Xiao Muning with disdain.
They are all young men with strong blood, and they are mortal enemies on the battlefield, and they don't have heart-to-heart sympathy, and now they are still very red when they meet.
"General Xu, don't come unharmed! Now that I have come to the capital of Dayu, my father specially instructed this king to entertain you well! General Xu, please! Xiao Muning was too lazy to fight with him, and it was the right thing to send him to the post house as soon as possible.
In front of the post house, the red-sleeved princess got out of the carriage with a veil and walked in front of Xiao Muning, "His Royal Highness King Ning!" Long time no see! ”
Xiao Muning didn't even look at her, lowered his eyes and said, "The princess has been dusty all the way, please go to the post house to rest." ”
The red-sleeved princess's eyes turned red instantly, "This princess came all the way to Kyoto for you, but you didn't even want to look at me, is it because of her?" ”
Xiao Muning was a little impatient with a cold face, "Princess, this has nothing to do with others, please respect yourself!" ”
"You defend her like this." The red-sleeved princess held back her tears and walked into the post house without looking back.
Duan Jin, who was behind him, looked at Xiao Muning, who was in a bad mood, and felt funny, "It's a pity!" Falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, fairy-like beauties, and you will cry as soon as you enter the city, what a sin! ”
"Since you are so distressed, do you want me to tell my father and recommend you to get married!"
Duan Jin hurriedly waved his hand, "No trouble!" is not as vigorous as the peach blossoms of the prince, and there is really no blessing to bear. ”
As soon as Xiao Muning settled the envoys, he saw Xu Luochen standing at the gate with his hands in his hands, "Why is his ghost not gone!" ”
"Lord Wang, I am not familiar with the place of life in the next place, can I bother the prince, and take it with me to walk around in this capital?"
Although Xiao Muning was unwilling, Xu Luochen's martial arts were strong, and if he was allowed to wander around the realm of Kyoto, who knew what his plans were.
"General Xu, please!" Xiao Muning stretched out his hand and said.
Xu Luochen looked east and west along the way, and walked aimlessly on the street, "The life of the people of Dayu Kyoto is really good, and they sell everything." ”
Xiao Muning glanced at him and ignored him.
Xu Luochen stopped suddenly, his eyes fixed on the door of a large mansion with a carriage parked on the opposite street.
Xiao Muning saw his strange appearance, and followed his gaze, Lin Qingwan was coming out of the general's mansion, saying goodbye to Zhao Lingxiao, and the little servant took two jars of wine and put them on the carriage. Lin Qingwan usually rarely puts on makeup in the house, but when she went out to visit today, she still dressed up, but she didn't expect the simple grooming to show her elegance and generosity.
"The eyebrows are like distant mountains without depiction, and the lips are sand without dotting. There are such beauties in the world! Xu Luochen was deeply trapped and couldn't extricate himself.
Xiao Muning said coldly, "If you look at it like this again, believe it or not, this king will dig out your tricks for you." ”
Xu Luochen listened to his ruthless words, and looked sideways at his expression before he suddenly realized, "This is the legendary future Princess Ning." King Ning is so blessed, and he is so envious! No wonder the prince can't fit our red-sleeved princess in his eyes. ”
Lin Qingwan carried the hem of his skirt down the steps, and when he was about to get into the car, he saw Xiao Muning confronting people not far away. Lin Qingwan walked around the carriage and walked towards them, "What a coincidence, why is the prince here?" Who is this? ”
Xiao Muning glared at Xu Luochen, looked at Lin Qingwan and replied, "This king is shopping with the enemy general!" ”
Lin Qingwan looked up at him, it turned out that he was Xu Luochen! It was pretty much what she imagined.
The atmosphere between the two of them became more and more weird, Lin Qingwan secretly scolded himself for turning a blind eye just now, saving himself from being as embarrassed as he is now, and said with a smile, "Lin Qingwan has seen General Xu. ”
Xu Luochen glanced at Xiao Muning and asked with a smile, "The county lord actually knows that he is below." ”
Yes? Lin Qingwan glanced at Xiao Muning's face, and immediately said, "Where is the general, people related to the prince, I will naturally pay attention to them." ”
After she finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Xiao Muning again, her eyes were full of her little daughter's admiration, but what she thought in her heart was whether she had photographed the prince's fart.
The corners of Xiao Muning's mouth hooked up, it seemed that Lin Qingwan's words made him very useful, "This king wants to send the future princess back to the house, if General Xu wants to continue shopping, let this king's men accompany you!" Leave. After speaking, he took Lin Qingwan's hand and got into the carriage.
Xu Luochen stood on the side of the road and said loudly, "Lord Qingwan, then we will come to Japan for a long time!" ”
